I received a free sample of the Cinammon Brown Sugar (w/ apples & cranberries) flavor and was very impressed by it. I don't usually like Quaker's granola bars (Chewy), because I find them too sticky and sweet. But this bar avoided those flaws. I could clearly taste the apples and cranberries, and the cinammon complemented these fruits very well. The bar also has all natural ingredients, which is definitely a plus.

The only complaint I have is that there is still too much sugar and calories (10g, 140 cal) for a "healthy" snack of this size. I'm picky about the amount of sugar in snacks, and in my opinion such snacks are more delicious without the unnecessary sugar. That's just my taste preference, but I still highly recommend this product.
